    Thank you!

    The infested nep is just a minor setback. It hasn't spread to any of my other nepenthes yet.

    Maybe try a sytemic insecticide as a preventative measure.

    Just moved the seeds out to the greenhouse. No lid. I flooded the tank with water to just a bit below where the seeds are, so they aren't in water, but they're extremely moist and it will be super humid around them.

    Yeah, I probably will pick something like Bayer Advanced soon. If it comes back, then I'll just cut the plant back and let it resprout.

    Not sure if it was mentioned, but I bought two female guppies and one male guppy from a local breeder in February. They stayed inside for two weeks, and then when I got my shade cloth, heating and cooling, the entire tank was taken outside without filtration, aeration or any water movement. Just plants, decaying plants and more plants... And guppies of course! I have about 20 babies or more in there that they gave birth to.

    There's a big brown dead patch on my N. densiflora x spectabilis... I think it's going to die...

    N. ventricosa x talangensis


    N. x 'Ventrata'


    N. (Stenophylla hybrid)

    So for the last few days when the greenhouse gets into the low to mid 80s, some of my Nepenthes wilt... But not the highlanders, it's the intermediates that wilt, like vogelii and boschiana x mira... They're well watered, so I don't see what is happening... The ultra highlanders (singalana) stay strong and continue to produce grow pitchers without malfunction, even though the singalana is like 4" across and the humidity dips into the 30% range during the day. It just doesn't make sense!

    I really like the steno too. Mainly because it's pitchers don't wilt when the temperature goes above like 3 degrees.

    I think the brown spot is alcohol burn, may be wrong though.
